They keep throwing up the APM tab on the chinese stream, apparently they seem to make a big deal of it. every single pro above 200 APM spams mid-game, so anyone giving a shit about average APM shows himself to be pretty dumb imho | ||

The map is quite literally dark, your only source of information is whatever unit you can sneak and having amazing game sense and knowledge. Making the right decision in PvP is one of the hardest things to do. You list off dot points and act as if any other Protoss could have done better, its hilarious. That's not what I was saying. I only meant that it wasn't MC's decision making that won him the game. | ||

There are a lot of things that won MC that game, but saying his decision making didn't make a large part of it is being ignorant. Blink helped him win battles, but it takes a lot more than that to win the game in mid/late game PvP | ||

Some tournaments allow for early-game pleasantries to be exchanged between opponents, and 'gl hf gg' falls under that umbrella. But literally every well-run tournament will consider a player writing 'gg' after the first few moments of the game to be a surrender. | ||

He was down like 30 supply, so how can you claim his decision making is what won him the game? | ||

The distance from China to KR can be as close as Los Angeles to Seattle. What it was said to be in WC3 times: It's not really about the distance but about political borders. Internet traffic which crosses Chinese borders is slow, internal Chinese Internal traffic is good. Rumors say it's because of the Great Firewall, but maybe the International traffic lines just suck. | ||

The rules for the tournament were to play on same realm if players were in the same area, alternate servers for NA and CN/KR, NA server for EU vs CN/KR, and a spawn position random for games between CN and KR. | ||

? Some guy said MC and XiaoT hit 400APM during one of their fights yesterday, would be nice to see what LoveCD is like.
